Yes, Paksi FC tested themselves against plenty of opponents, but only one of them will play in the upcoming European season. That is precisely what is worrying: another UEFA Conference League qualifying participant, Austria Vienna, thrashed the Hungarians (4:1). So their 5:3 win over Slaven Belupo Koprivnica before that is rather cancelled out. From this run of matches, the only clear takeaway is that Paksi FC like playing high-scoring football: all of them finished with Over 2.5 goals, while Over 3.5 goals was also reached with ease — eight times. Paksi FC have played in European competition in the previous two seasons, but at home they have only beaten teams from countries such as Cyprus, Slovenia, Montenegro and similar leagues.
Panathinaikos have long since stopped being even the second force in Greece, but their name still attracts players of decent quality. This summer, the Greens signed Barcelona goalkeeper Inaki Pena, who made 16 La Liga appearances and five in the Champions League for the Blaugrana in the 2024/25 season. New head coach Jacob Neestrup clearly sees the Spaniard as his first choice. However, his final warm-up match, like the rest of the team's, did not go well — Pao were thrashed by Rapid Vienna (1:4).
Both teams would be better off avoiding sides from Vienna, but between these two Panathinaikos are clearly in the more stable position, as they often play in the autumn stage of European competitions. The visitors will not go all out, but they intend to secure at least a narrow strategic victory.
